Introduction
Prairie Meadow, LLC has made application for a Rezoning from Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone to Urban Residential (R-1B) Zone. The subject property is generally located north of Wood Duck Trail, west of Marschall Road and south of Meadow Lane in the Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone.

The property currently is used as a single-family residence. This parcel, along with several others located south of Valley Creek Crossing 2nd Addition and north of Timber Trails, was included in a recent extension of Jennifer Lane that now connects these two (2) subdivisions, along with extended services along this new corridor. Attached to this report is a preliminary concept plan for this subdivision, a conceptual stormwater/drainage plan, and an aerial which identifies the recently approved residential subdivision just to the north (Prairie Meadows). The applicant has submitted a rezoning request for a single-family residential development, similar to the existing Prairie Meadows, and should this request be approved, will proceed with the submittal of a Plat application roughly based on the concept plan for this particular parcel. There remains one property adjacent to this request where the current property owners have no interest in pursuing additional development at this time. If in the future they would like to develop their

property, staff will work with the developer(s) on a layout that will generally be consistent with the layout shown on the conceptual stormwater/drainage plan.

Planning staff did receive comments from SPUC, whom noted that the applicant shall contact them to discuss requirements to receive water and electric service for development of this property. Also attached to this report is a letter from the developer, which notes comments that were raised at their neighborhood meeting.

The developer’s concept plan identifies parcels that appear to comply with the required design standards for this zone. Detailed review of the project will occur at time of Platting, should this request be approved.
